Platelet rich plasma treatment, known as PRP therapy for short, represents the cutting edge of regenerative medicine. This field of medicine attempts to repair and restore injured tissue rather than simply placing a "Band-Aid" over the painful condition. Today, there have been multiple research studies showing its effectiveness for numerous conditions. The latest study was published by Hospital for Special Surgery showing PRP's effectiveness for painful knee arthritis.

Treatment with PRP therapy is performed as an outpatient and involves a simple blood draw from the arm. Thirty to sixty milliliters of blood is obtained, and then it is spun in a centrifuge rapidly for a few minutes to separate out the PRP. This layer contains concentrated platelets and growth factors, which are then injected into the problem area at the same setting.

These elements are able to assist in the repair and regeneration of damage tissue, along with also calling in the body's own stem cells the help as well. The Arizona pain management doctors at the clinics are all Board Certified and Fellowship Trained. They are highly skilled in treating both simple and complex pain conditions with both alternative and conventional treatments.
